Utah-based doctor offers sleep medicine services | 
Intermountain Dixie Regional Sleep Disorders Center of Utah recently received reaccreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The accreditation ensures that the center has top-of-the-line facilities for sleep disorder patients.
“Most of us have trouble sleeping from time to time,” explained Dr. Kirk Watkins, a board-certified practitioner of Sleep Medicine. “But those with chronic sleep disorders are at risk for serious complications, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, automobile and other types of accidents, trouble at work, and strained relationships. Sleep disorders don’t just affect the patient.”
Dr. Watkins says that there are many available treatments for these disorders.
“There are a number of different conditions that can cause chronic sleep disturbance,” explained Watkins. He highlighted restless leg syndrome, insomnia, and narcolepsy as the more popular conditions.
If you live in the Utah area, and you feel that there are troubles in your sleep health, you can make an appointment with Dr. Watkins by calling 251-3940.
